Part way through the process of exporting a family to a Legacy file
(File>Export to>Legacy file), the screen titles "Combine event definition"
shows, with the name and sentence settings for an event. 

The headings on this screen, "Event in current family file" and "Event being
imported", are not relevant to the export process, but are relevant when
importing a file. The options at the bottom of the screen also all relate to
importing. When you close one event, the next one pops up so that you have
to work through each event that may be set up differently from the default
settings. At the end of this it is not clear just what you are exporting.
What is the effect on the exported file of choosing any of the options
offered?

I would expect to export all the event settings from the current file. 

This is a screen that relates to IMPORTING a Legacy file to an existing
file, where there may be conflicts between the settings and sentences in
that existing file and the settings in the file being imported. In the
export process it just gives rise uncertainty about what is in the exported
file.  

There is nothing in the help files about this screen when exporting, but it
is clearly outlined under the section "Import, combine events". (5-531)

Have I misunderstood something or do we have a bug? Version 6 was the same.
